ACTS 18:27 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace:”
'When Apollos wanted to go to Achaia, the brothers and sisters encouraged him and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him — By his grace, he was a great help to those who by faith had believed — The letters of commendation establish early Christian epistolary networking. Apollos's effectiveness (synebalen polla, contributed much) in Achaia suggests his rhetorical gifts, once properly instructed, prove formidable.
